Scanning Services at
Monnow Eyecare

Our advanced scanning services provide detailed insight into your eye health, helping us detect changes early, monitor your eyes over time and provide more personalised care.

Seeing more. Understanding more.

At Monnow Eyecare, we use advanced scanning technology to look at your eyes in much greater detail than a standard eye examination alone can provide.

Our scanners allow us to capture detailed images and measurements of the structures inside and around your eyes. This helps our optometrists detect subtle changes, monitor your eye health over time and make sure any concerns are identified as early as possible.

Most importantly, we take the time to explain what your scans show, so you can feel informed and confident about your eye health.

Why Are Eye Scans Important?

Your eyes can change gradually, sometimes without you noticing any difference in your vision. Detailed scans give us another way to look beneath the surface and spot changes that may otherwise be difficult to detect.

Regular scans can help us:

  • Create a detailed record of your eye health
  • Detect and monitor changes at an early stage
  • Monitor conditions such as glaucoma and retinal disease
  • Compare your eyes over time to identify subtle changes
  • Support more personalised advice and treatment
  • Give you greater peace of mind about your vision

DNEye Scanner

Your eyes are unique. Your glasses should be too.

At Monnow Eyecare, we use the Rodenstock DNEye® Scanner to take incredibly precise measurements of your eyes. This allows us to create lenses that are tailored to your lifestyle, your prescription and the way you see.

It’s another way we combine advanced technology with the personal care we’re known for.

A traditional prescription tells us what strength of lens you need. The DNEye Scanner can tell us much more. It takes thousands of precise measurements of your eyes, including the size and shape of your eyes and how your pupils respond to
different levels of light.

Patients report:

  • Sharper vision than before
  • A noticeably shorter settling-in period
  • Better contrast and clearer vision in low light
  • Greater overall comfort and confidence with their glasses

At Monnow Eyecare, we ensure your lenses are not just the most advanced, but they are right for your eyes.

MYAH Scanner

Advanced measurement for myopia and dry eye.

The MYAH® Scanner is a versatile diagnostic device that helps us assess and monitor several aspects of eye health.

At Monnow Eyecare, we use MYAH particularly for myopia management, axial length monitoring and dry eye assessment, giving us detailed measurements that help guide personalised
care.

Myopia (short-sightedness) is now being seen in more children at a younger age. Left untreated, it can progress over time and increase the risk of long-term eye health issues. The Myah Scanner helps us take a proactive approach, providing all the
advanced technology needed to carefully manage and slow down this progression.

The Myah Scanner also offers in-depth tools to help diagnose and manage dry eye syndrome  a condition that can cause irritation, watering, blurred vision and discomfort throughout the day.

OCT Scanner

Seeing more. Understanding more. Protecting your
vision.

At Monnow Eyecare, we believe that the best eye care comes from combining experienced clinicians with advanced technology.

Our Topcon Triton OCT Scanner allows us to look beneath the surface of your eye in exceptional detail, helping us assess, monitor and manage a wide range of eye conditions. This advanced imaging technology gives our optometrists valuable
information about your retina and optic nerve, supporting earlier detection and more informed decisions about your eye health.

Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses light waves to create highly detailed, cross-sectional images of the structures at the back of your eye. The scan is quick, painless and does not involve any contact with
your eye.

OCT is particularly valuable in the assessment and monitoring of conditions including:

  • Glaucoma
  • Age-related macular degeneration (AMD)
  • Diabetic eye disease
  • Macular conditions
  • Other retinal changes

OCTA (OCT Angiography) also provides detailed images of the retinal and choroidal blood vessels. Unlike traditioal dye-based angiography, OCTA is non-invasive and does not require injections.

Our OCT technology plays an important role in our Medical Retina Service, allowing us to provide detailed retinal assessment and ongoing monitoring within the community.

Optos Scanner

The Optos Scanner provides us with a high-resolution 200° image of your eye that helps us to understand the health of your retina. This is much wider than a traditional 45° image.

Many eye problems can develop without you knowing, in fact, you may not even notice any change in your sight. Fortunately, sight threatening conditions such as macular degeneration,
retinal tears or detachments, and other health problems such as diabetes and high blood pressure can be seen with a thorough exam of the retina even before symptoms occur.

The inclusion of Optos as part of our extended eye exam provides:

  • A 200° single shot view of the retina that either depicts a healthy eye or can assist in disease detection.
  • The opportunity for you to view and discuss the optomap image of your eye with your doctor at the time of your exam.
  • A permanent record for your file, which allows your optometrist to view your images each year to look for changes.

The Optos Scanner is fast, easy, and comfortable. Images are shown immediately, so we can review it with you during your appointment.
